13 ex-Broncos sign future contracts with NFL teams, including a QB

Ben DiNucci headlines the list of 13 ex-Broncos players who signed reserve/future contracts with NFL teams this week.

Following the end of the NFL season, teams who did not make the playoffs can begin signing players to reserve/future contracts for the next league year.

To be eligible for a reserve/future deal, players can’t be on an active roster when the season ends. Once a player signs such a contract, they are committed to join the team’s 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins in March.

Because the Denver Broncos have made the playoffs, their reserve/future contract signings won’t begin until their season ends. In the meantime, 13 ex-Broncos players have signed deals with other NFL teams.

  1. QB Ben DiNucci (Saints)
  2. RB Salvon Ahmed (Colts)
  3. WR Tyreik McAllister (Raiders)
  4. WR Phillip Dorsett (Falcons)
  5. WR Seth Williams (Cowboys)
  6. TE Albert Okwuegbunan (Colts)
  7. OL Sebastian Gutierrez (49ers)
  8. OL Zack Johnson (49ers)
  9. DL Marcus Haynes (Browns)
  10. DL McTelvin Agim (Titans)
  11. OLB Durrell Nchami (Colts)
  12. OLB Thomas Incoom (Panthers)
  13. DB Lamar Jackson (Falcons)

Denver is focused on an upcoming playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. Once the Broncos’ season ends, we will turn attention toward the team’s in-house transactions.

Broncos place 2 players on reserve/PUP list

The Broncos are moving DB Delarrin Turner-Yell and LB Drew Sanders to the reserve/PUP list, ruling them out for at least 4 games.

The Denver Broncos have informed safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) that they will be moved to the reserve/physically unable perform list today, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Turner-Yell and Sanders spent all of training camp and preseason on the active/PUP list. With the Broncos setting a 53-man roster today, the two players are being moved to reserve/PUP and they will not count against the active roster.

Turner-Yell and Sanders will have to sit out at least the first four games of the 2024 season before being eligible to return. After four weeks, the players will have a five-week window to return to practice. Once they return to practice, there will be a 21-day window to return to the active roster.

If the players miss either of the five-week or 21-day windows, they will remain on reserve for the entire season. Health permitting, Turner-Yell and Sanders could both return to action later this fall.

Denver will also place pass rusher Durrell Nchami on “some sort of IR” list today, according to Klis. If it’s short-term injured reserve, Nchami will be eligible to return after four games.
